    Hi @stedutton

    Thanks for your query.

    When you are in the support group it means that you are not required to undertake work-related activities, such as training or condition management programmes.
    It also means that you are considered to have a severe, lifelong disability, illness or health condition, and are unlikely to ever be able to move into work. 

    I hope this answers your question. 

    Kind Regards
    Pia
